Schneiderlin, who was voted the Players' Player and Fans' Player of the Year on Tuesday, admitted the doubt surrounding the positions of chairman Nico Cortese and manager Mauricio Pochettino was worrying.

Asked how the squad would react if both men left this summer, Schneiderlin said told the club website: "It would put everything in question again for every single player.

"The chairman and Mauricio Pochettino are a big part of this club. They are selling the project to us and that's why I signed a new contract, as well as other players doing the same."
